EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of the underwater world in Papua New Guinea. A striking red sea fan, known as Melthaea sp. , takes center stage, adorned with delicate crinoid feather stars. The image was captured by photographer Steve Jones in Kimbe Bay, revealing a mesmerizing seascape teeming with life. In this snapshot of marine biodiversity, we witness the intricate symbiosis between various species. The red sea fan serves as a home and shelter for the crinoid feather stars, creating a harmonious ecosystem beneath the waves.

The photograph encapsulates nature's artistry at its finest – showcasing growth and conformity within coral reefs. It highlights the importance of preserving these fragile habitats to safeguard countless living organisms that call them home.
